Navy Log liike Crusade In Europe and Victory at Sea, Navy Log attempts to tell the story of our Armed Forces. But, unlike the two earlier his¬ torical documentaries, Navy Log deals with people. And it does a fine job. All stories are supposedly based on true-to- life incidents, with embellishments. Though some incidents seem slightly exaggerated, they generally have considerable drama. Programs have ranged from adventures of Navy frogmen to the story of a flier who deliberately crashed his own plane to save a shot-down buddy. Filmed at sea and at Navy bases throughout the Western Hemisphere, with full cooperation of the Navy Department^ the show boasts au¬ thentic settings, props and costumes. Its vari¬ ous Avriters wisely temper the excitement and action with touches of humor. And the actors have been uniformly good, evidencing skill and care on the part of producer and director.— R.S. Heroism in Korea: James Ed¬ wards, I., and Douglas Dick. By Ollie Crawford " FINE TUNING Weather forecasters balk at TV’s glamorous weather girls. They don’t like gals getting mixed up with the gales. • It’s a fine lime for the weather¬ men to blow up a storm. • When the weather report is pretty ugly, it helps to have a weather reporter who is pretty pretty. Friend of ours says the weather may be a nightmare, as long as it’s from his dream girl. The weather may be miserable, but he’s happy. The ba¬ rometer may be falling, but she’s quite a catch. • He just doesn’t understand why the weather forecast should include nothing but dull figures. • It’s true that some of the gals are so sultry, they shoot the temperature up a couple of extra degrees. But if ‘the weather report is right, what’s so wrong about a sarong? A guy can listen to the weather, and not much care whether. When it comes to pre¬ dicting the amoimt of rainfall, he knows that beauty is only shin deep. • If it’s as cold as they report, how can they wear those gowns? • Doesn’t Los Angeles have enough trouble with smog, without getting the report from Marjorie Main?
